Current Behavior

Expected Behavior

Regular expressions are patterns used to match character combinations in strings. Certain poorly constructed patterns can lead to excessive backtracking, especially when processing crafted malicious inputs. This excessive backtracking can cause the application to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Thus, patch should be available for this.
